leans of Mrs. Mary A. NIaginnis, wife
of A. A. Maginnis, and eldest daughter
of the late William NJ. Tweed, says a
New York dispatch, recalled to many
New Workers that lady's magnificent
wedding, which was nine days Won
der before the crash of the great ring
came. A startling feature of the event
was the extent and cOstliness of the
presents which the bride received from
city officials and politicians of the day.
The wedding took place in the fall Of
1868, two years before the crash, at
Tweed's then unpretentious residence
on Thirty-sixth street. 1t was held in
the afternoon. At that time, to the
public, Tweed was merely Deputy
Commissioner of Public Works, but in
politics he was The Boss" and conse-
Quently for the afternoon city business
was almost entirely suspended, while
all interested focked to the residence
1t was great crush, house full of
flowers, charming bride, and room
full of magnificent presents The
floral display was something that had
never been equaled in the city. Those
who succeeded in getting in had fine
time, and saw Tweed i'll one of his hap
piest and best moods. The bride
looked charming, being a blonde, and
fine looking. The wedding presents
from the brides father was check for
large amount and the deed for a house
and lot in New Orleans The members
of the American Club gave the bride
an elegant present. The total value
of the presents mounted away above
100000.
Mr.. JOIN MCGovERN writes rs fol
lows in the Chicago journal: Stand
ing on the street, a medical friend who
was waiting for Car came up, and |
offered him some wintergreen lozenges
that ] was eating He declined them,
and then proceeded to lecture me as
follows: IF you eat those lozenges
that you have in that paper they will
make ylu sick. They will produce n
sudden constipation of the bowels,
which will last a day or two. Your
appetite for wholesome food will fall
of, your sleep will be disturbed, and
possibly you may have a headache.
You may feel out of sorts for two or
three days, but you will lay it to every
thing but the lozenges. People
can't be too careful about eat
ing confectionery containing strong
and pungent essences. What /
have said about wintergreen is equal
ly true of pepper, peppermint and Gin
namon. CONNECTIONS containing these
favorings might be very good medi-
cines for certain diseases OF the bowels,
but to use them as delicacies and re-
freshments is about as wise and ration
al as it would be to eat calomel candy
and opium lozenges -just about. 1t is
almost as dangerous to eat readymade
preserves, manufactured by wholesale
and sold in stores. What they are
made of | never knew. 1t is said that
most of them are made of refuse cheese.
At any rate, even if they are made of

resolutions not only as giving additional empha-
indication that, in the opinion of the citizens
OF Toronto. expressed at of the
largest and most representative meetings ever

that respect to justify withdrawal of the
good will which has been hitherto shown to me.
earnestly hope that may continue to merit
the confidence of your people, and that when my
term OF Office has expired, no act of mine, public
or private. will be round to have detracted from

FATHER OF CHEAP POSTAGE.
Death of Lysander Spooner. the Rowland
Hill of America.

Boston. May I6-There died in Boston Satur-
day man to whom belongs more justly than to
any one else the honorable title of the father of
cheap postage in America This was the vet
eran Lysander Spooner. who passed away at his
homo on Myrtle street. at the age of seventy
nine. In 1874, when the sending of an ordinary
letter any distance a serious tax, Mr..
Spooner began an enterprise which was almost
immediate, and proved lasting in it's results. He
believed. while denying the right of leagues to
monopolize the carrying of mails, that the busi-
ness could be done more cheaply at profit To
prove his belief and test the power of leagues he
established private mail from Boston to New
York. afterward extending it to Philadelphia
and Baltimore, carrying letters at the uniform
rate of five cents. The business grew
rapidly, but the government officials
overwhelmed him with prosecutions Every
letter he carried could be made the basis
of suit He tried to get the attorneys of the
department to let the question go to the last tri-
bunal on one test CASTE waving proceedings
the other for the time being, but this did pot
suit their purpose which was to crush him with
the weight of legal expenses, and thus sooner
drive him from the field. This they succeeded
in doing in the course of seven eight months.
He had not the means to defend the numerous
cases piled up against him, and was compelled
to surrender. Others, following his example,
had established private mails, and they. too.
were forced retire. But the moral victory
was his. He had demonstrated that a low rate
of postage would support the department.. some
thing of which the people, but for his action at
that time, might not have been convinced for
many years afterward. So well had he done his
work that in the next year Congress made the
first reduction in postage rates, followed in 1851.
and in ubseQuent years, with still further reduc
tions. Mr. Spooner also vouminous
writer and an active Abolitionist. and the publi-
cation of his work demonstrating the unconsti-
tutionality of slavery marked an epoch in the
anti-slavery agitation.

OHIO OIL MEN TO ORGANIZE.
Many Millions of Dollars To Be Put Out to
Fight the Standard and Raise Prices.

TOLEDO, May 16-A gigantic scheme. involv-
ing millions of dollars and interesting thousands
of producers in the Wood Hancock and Allen
county fields, has just been brought to light 1t
is the organization of Producers Oil Exchange
and union of interests similar to that in Penn
sylvania, to force the price Of oil up to what it
is really worth.
The originators of the scheme are heavy pro-
ducers, who angry at the recent cut in oil,
and claim that 271 cents is less than what Ohio
oil is really worth. They say that the supply is
daily diminishing in Pennsylvania; that the peo-
pie of the United States are daily using thou
sands Of barrels more than be produced in
the Pennsylvania fields, and that their Ohio oil
is worth nearly, if not quite. as much as the
Pennsylvania oil. and they argue that il they
were as thoroughly organized the Pennsyl-
vania producers they would get go or 20 cents per
barrel at the very least
The say that Ohio oil is worth 81 barrel for
fuel alone. and the Standard company has placed
the price at the lowest possible point to retard
the development of the Ohio fields. They claim
that the Standard has already made 500, OO0, 600
out Of the Ohio field. and that if the producers
will organize. build their own pipe lines and
fneries, they could form powerful opposition
to the Standard and obtain fair price for the
oil. Full particulars of the plans are difficult to
obtain.

4 MESSAGE FROM THE POPE.
lie Takes Deep Interest in America, and
Gives the Faithful Good Advice

snecial to the Indianapolis Journal
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 16.-Bishop Ireland, in
his address to his subjects, last night, said:
1.-THE Holy Father takes deep interest In Amer
lea. He has an amazing amount of information
in regard to American affairs. He said: The
future is in the great Republic of America, and
it's influence is rapidly spreading over the whole
world. 1t is the great mission of
American Catholics to set examples
of the best and purest type OF
citizen. The American Catholics should love
deeply their country, and should never to
work for its welfare The Pope EXPRESSED his
anxiety at the prevalence of drunkenness among
Catholics in some countries, and said thas it had
proved a stumbling block to many who would
have been led into the church. He blessed the
temperance movement, and the Bishop had
promised to devote himself to the cause with
greater energy than ever. In regard to the
great national university, bis Holiness
had said that what most
needed for the furtherance of the church in
America was intellectual superiority of Catho-
lies They must demonstrate that the church is
q friend of learning and education. In reference
to the Knights of Labor the Holy Father has
not approved of them, bnc has not condemned
them. The church says that labor has RI lights,
and has the privilege organize for their protec-
tion The Knights, SO far, have done nothing
officially worthy of condemnation, but they
must not infringe on the freedom Of labor. They
must not deny to others. not members of their
order, the right to work"

THE IRISH CRIMES BILL

Test Amendment Which VIII Determine
the Progress of the Measure
LONDON, May 16.-The proposal of Mr.. Smith.
Whitsuntide holidays. from May 24 to June g.
leaves the House only four nights for debate on
the coercion bill before adjournment. as all
other sittings will be occupied with the esti-
mates. 1t is doubtful whether the first clause
of the coercion bill can be passed before adjourn
ment. Sir William Vernon Harcourt proposes
an important amendment to the bill. exempting
from secret inquiry all proceedings relat-
ing to public meetings or agrarian
movements, including combinations to obtain
reductions of rent. The Gladstcnians
will make this a test amendment. If the gov
ernment accept it, the bill will be permitted to
progress; but if the government refuse, every
possible device will be used to obstruct the
measure. The government will modify the Irish
land bill in the House of Lords. The original
clause enabled solvent tenants to apply for
duction of rent under appea. IN bankrupfcy; it
is now proposed, a substitute. that joint sppN-
cation be made for bankruptcy order by both
landlord and tenant and that the court be en-
powered to stav eviction without declaring bank
ruptcy, by granting extension of time for
payment
Mr. Gladstone will spend part of his Whit
suntide holiday at Swansea, in Wales, where he
will be the guest of Sir Henry Hussey Vivian.
Sir Henry was formerly Liberal; he wave-ed,
however, in loyalty to Gladstone when he intro
duced the Irish home-rule bill, and acted with
the Liberal Unionists. Recently be became con-
verted to the ex-Premier's views on the Irish
question. 1t is probable the Welsh people will
signalize Gladstone's visit by series of demon
strations in his honor.
